Synopsis
Born in September? This professor has got bad news for you. Spend an hour of edu-tainment touring through the wackiness of early 19th century psychiatry, stealth mid-century reproductive rights activism, the climate/pregnancy connection, and learn why cold & flu season has an outsize impact on mental health. Didn’t think science could be funny? Come check out the only show in this year’s Fringe put on by a PhD scientist – you might laugh, but you’ll definitely learn. Suitable for ages 13+ (PG). Content warning: brief mention of suicidality, mentions of mental health, abortion and reproductive sex. (fringetoronto.com)
